Lulu Whidby — Strut Miss Lizzie

[Verse 1] At the barber's ball in the barber's hall All the dusky belles were there Such a glancing, prancing, strutting and dancing They were doing for fair All the belles and beaus prancing on their toes Tried to do the cake walk swell When a midnight blonde came prancing on They were loud to yell [Chorus] Won't you strut Miss Lizzie, get busy Want to see you walk For the folks all state the way you syncopate Is the whole town talk You move so pretty, it's a pity The other girlies frown But the men you meet Like the way you shake your feet Oh you knock them dizzy Strut Miss Lizzie Brown [Verse 2] They were steppin' sweet, they were steppin' neat They were steppin' super fine To the singing, swinging, fancy pigeon winging They were falling in line Every dame and dude struck an attitude For to win the cake they tried But when Lizzie Brown came prancing round Everybody cried [Chorus] Won't you strut Miss Lizzie, get busy Want to see you walk For the folks all state the way you syncopate Is the whole town talk You move so pretty, it's a pity The other girlies frown But the men you meet Like the way you shake your feet Oh you knock them dizzy Strut Miss Lizzie Brown [Bridge] Go down the street by the school Pat your feet you steppin' fool Strut your stuff, use your "Kerch" Trot your tootsies by the church Through the alley, dodge the cans Shake Miss Sally's pots and pans Cool your dogs, we're coming through Get set for Lenox Avenue [Chorus] Won't you strut Miss Lizzie, get busy Want to see you walk For the folks all state the way you syncopate Is the whole town talk You move so pretty, it's a pity The other girlies frown But the men you meet Like the way you shake your feet Oh you knock them dizzy Strut Miss Lizzie Brown
